2 years and 6 months is quite a long time. incidentally, that is also the length of time for which my blog template has not changed. that's why i'm retiring Hal Jordan and going for a lighter, more season-appropriate template. don't know how long this will be up, but it will definitely be replaced before 2 years.
doing this took me close to 3 hours. shows how out of touch i am. now that blogger allows changes to be reflected immediately, i couldn't even do this in the edit template window. had to do it in notepad (and preview countless times) then import it over in one shot. so far, it looks ok, but i'll be fixing any errors that may pop up in the near future. hopefully, people on 1024 X 768 resolution (if there are any at all) will only have to scroll vertically and not horizontally. scrolling in one dimension is already bad enough, let alone two. i'm on 1280 X 1024, so i'm actually guesstimating the width. the current design is pretty much up to my expectation, but i'm thinking of adding a script that puts text on the status bar. have to see how that goes.
in the process of redesigning a new template, i've also run through my links and deleted any blogs that haven't been updated for more than a year. however, this action has had the unfortunate consequence of reducing my links by half. guess i'll post on facebook asking for people with blogs to give me the URLs again.
i cannot believe that even now, certain people at home still do not realize that i do NOT like other people reorganizing my stuff. so what if it looks neater? at least i can find what i want in the mess. and it's not like i wasn't planning on tidying up anyway. it's just that it's low on my priority list, that's all. and besides, i was told to "take my time" doing it, and that there was "no rush". so technically, i could have done it next year, or even after graduating from university, and i'd still meet the deadline. what's worse is, it's MY room and MY workspace, so if anyone has to live with it, it's ME, and nobody else. so, i really don't see why anyone besides myself should be bothered about the mess. so far, one DVD case has been lost to the forces of kaypoh-ness, and i'm hoping nothing else goes along with it. have to do one more reorganization myself anyway, so (1) i'll find out if anything else is missing, and (2) that person wasted time trying to make everything look tidy, because i was going to do it anyway. in army terms, it's a rather kam gong matter actually, but it's succeeded in getting me more annoyed than i've ever been since ORD.
originally, i was way angrier than i am currently. i guess blogging and template designing took some of the fire away. right now, i'll probably log into CoH for a bit before going to sleep. hopefully something interesting's going on in there.

-random thought of the day: I've been smelling WD-40 all day...don't know why.-
